Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 107 Birthday gift
"Then let's go out now." Chu Ruoying stood up, straightened the folds on her clothes, and said softly.

Naturally, Xia Zhiqi had no objection, and the two of them walked out of the yard without hurrying, chatting all the way, and finally arrived at a flower hall in the backyard after two quarters of an hour.

"Why did Miss Chu come so late?" Ye Qianyang asked directly after seeing the two coming in.

Seeing that everyone's eyes turned to her, Chu Ruoying just smiled lightly, and said calmly, "It took me a while to change, so I came a little late, let Miss Ye remember."

Ye Qianyang choked, and dismissed Chu Ruoying's slap in the face, who cares about her.

Chu Ruoying didn't care about Ye Qianyang's expression, after all, today was her birthday, and she didn't want unpleasant things to happen today.

After Chu Ruoying took her seat, she just chatted with Xia Zhiqi on her own, drinking tea and eating some snacks from time to time, but Ye Qianyang couldn't understand the affection between the two sisters, so she interrupted: "Miss Chu I have a really good relationship with Miss Xia."

Chu Ruoying smiled faintly, nodded and said, "I hit it off with Zhiqi, and we never met again."

Xia Zhiqi also smiled when she heard the words, and said softly: "Miss Ye has really good eyesight. When Ying'er and I first met, we felt that our eyes fit very well."

"The two are naturally destined." Ye Qianyang seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were full of gloating, but his tone was a little confused, "In the past, everyone in Beijing thought that Miss Xia was the one who matched Prince Jin. Who knew that the one who was really destined was Miss Chu, it was a destiny that cannot be violated."

Xia Zhiqi could naturally hear the provocative meaning in Ye Qianyang's words, and said with a worried face: "It's just some rumors in the market. Miss Ye is also the daughter of a dignified prime minister, so she believes in these gossips anyway."

The smile on Chu Ruoying's face deepened, and she said with a light smile, "I didn't expect that Miss Ye also knew that the destiny cannot be violated. I think that Miss Yun's family probably also because of the destiny."

Seeing that the two people in the seat did not conflict because of this incident, Ye Qianyang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Hearing Chu Ruoying mentioning Yun Qianqian, her expression became even uglier. The gift of husband and wife is only the last step. Seeing that the marriage of the two will be put on the agenda in a short time, there is an extra Yun Qianqian, who has taken a concubine before he has a regular wife. Emperor Xiao was unhappy, and Prime Minister Ye was even more dissatisfied. In desperation, he could only postpone the matter, but Ye Qianyang had already passed fifteen, and seeing that it would be sixteen in a few months, he was also anxious stand up.

Seeing Ye Qianyang's face change, Chu Ruoying curled her lips and looked away. According to her, Ye Qianyang was not a person who was willing to wait, especially when the person in her heart already had someone beside her. She is determined not to be reconciled to others, but Chu Ruoying doesn't care what Ye Qianyang has in mind.

It was probably because this day made the gods look boring, and soon the sun had already set, and the guests in the mansion also returned to the mansion one by one, and the Chu mansion, which had been busy for a day, also became quiet.

Chu Ruoying was sitting in the boudoir looking at the birthday gifts sent by everyone, when suddenly there was a small sound, and there was a figure behind her.

Chu Ruoying continued to unwrap the gift without looking up, and said softly, "Why are you here?"

Mu Ziyuan hugged her into his arms from behind, and seeing Chu Ruoying accidentally exhaled out of surprise, he was in a particularly good mood. Mu Ziyuan took out a pear hairpin carved from white jade from his sleeve, Gently inserting it into Chu Ruoying's hair, she said with a rather smug expression, "Sure enough, it's very suitable for Chuchu."

Chu Ruoying lowered her head slightly, with a faint but warm smile on her lips. It's not that she didn't know that at the end of the ceremony, relatives and friends would give her the hairpin she had prepared as a blessing, but she didn't perform this etiquette, and she knew better. In the Xiao Kingdom, only the husband can insert hairpins for his wife, is this person taking advantage of himself?

"Chuchu, I'll take you to a place." Mu Ziyuan kept staring at the person in his arms, seeing her tenderness in her eyebrows and eyes, he couldn't help but kiss her lightly on the eyebrows and eyes, and then hugged her up , got up and swept out the window.

But after a while, the two stopped. Mu Ziyuan covered Chu Ruoying's eyes with one hand, and gently hugged her with the other. Looking at the scene in front of him, he nodded in satisfaction, and then let go.

Chu Ruoying slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was the pear blossom trees all over the courtyard. A gust of wind blew, like snow, and the pear blossoms fell on her shoulders. Chu Ruoying quietly seemed to be integrated with the pear blossoms all over the courtyard .

After a long time, Chu Ruoying finally turned around and smiled softly at Mu Ziyuan, "I like it very much."

Mu Ziyuan stepped forward and embraced her, his breath was extremely pure, and he was as happy as a child, "I know Chuchu likes plum blossoms the most, so the other side of this yard is full of red plum blossoms. Just live here for a few days."

"Yeah." Chu Ruoying leaned quietly in his arms, feeling that something in her heart had completely softened, and the two of them stayed like this for a long time, watching the sky getting darker and later, they were about to leave.

Chu Ruoying withdrew from Mu Ziyuan's arms, and suddenly tiptoed onto the courtyard wall, and smiled at Mu Ziyuan in the courtyard, "It's a good night tonight, how about we compare lightness kung fu?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Ruoying sprinted directly towards the courtyard, completely ignoring Mu Ziyuan's face that darkened instantly after she left, and quickly chased after her with her circulating internal energy.

As soon as Chu Ruoying turned her head, she saw the faint anger in Mu Ziyuan's eyes. She was taken aback for a moment, and then saw the deep worry in his eyes, she smiled softly, and moved forward faster.

A quarter of an hour later, seeing that Chu Ruoying was about to be caught by Mu Ziyuan, Chu Ruoying thought about it, pretended to be lacking in internal strength, and swayed her body as if she was about to fall. With a look of panic, she walked up to Chu Ruoying in a flash, and hugged her tightly in her arms.

Chu Ruoying raised her head and was about to speak when she bumped into Mu Ziyuan's frightened and worried eyes that were faintly filled with anger. She didn't dare to say that she was pretending on purpose for a while, so she stretched out her arms to wrap his arms around his neck. "I'm fine," said softly.

Mu Ziyuan didn't speak, just pressed his thin lips tightly, the breath around him was condensed, he hugged her and walked towards Chu Mansion without saying a word.

But Mu Ziyuan stopped after a while, but didn't put her down, and the aura around her became even colder. Chu Ruoying raised her head from his embrace, looked around and knew that she was in her courtyard. In the process, Mu Ziyuan hugged him even more tightly when he moved his body a little bit. Chu Ruoying couldn't help but looked at him suspiciously. Seeing that his eyes were fixed on the front, she turned her head and looked at him, her eyes widened involuntarily. .

"Brother." Chu Ruoying murmured softly, jumped out of Mu Ziyuan's arms in a panic, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Seeing that Chu Ruoying retreated from her embrace as soon as she saw Xu Nuo, Mu Ziyuan was furious, and without hesitation, she slapped Xu Nuo with her palm, and Xu Nuo could only raise her hand to block it.

"What's the meaning of this, Prince Jin?" Xu Nuo looked at him without fear, and asked in a deep voice.

But Mu Ziyuan didn't want to say more, and once again channeled his internal energy into his palm, and was about to make a move, Chu Ruoying directly grabbed his wrist, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing!"

Mu Ziyuan turned his head and glanced at Chu Ruoying, and saw that there was a hint of anger in her eyes, so he could only clenched his fists, looked at Xu Nuo again, and said in a tone as cold as a millennium, "Mr. Xu is visiting late at night. I don't know what to do!"

Naturally, the promises made by the two of them just now were not missed, and there was a faint sadness in their eyes, but they looked straight at Chu Ruoying, and said softly, "Junior Sister, why didn't you tell me about your poisoning?"

"Senior brother, you know, I just don't want to cause trouble for senior brother." Chu Ruoying was taken aback when she heard this, she took a few steps forward, then lowered her head slightly, bit her lip lightly, and said in a low voice.

Xu Nuo's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Junior Sister, you know, you will never be a problem to me."

Chu Ruoying fell silent suddenly, she didn't know how to speak, she thought that after the discussion in Hanshan Temple that night, the promise should be let go, but she didn't want him to say such words in front of Mu Ziyuan at this moment.

Mu Ziyuan, on the other hand, held Chu Ruoying into his arms with a cold face, and with a dangerous glint in his long and narrow eyes, he said bluntly: "You don't need to care about Chu Chu's affairs, Mr. Being here is enough."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Xu Nuo's mouth, and he didn't care about Mu Ziyuan's oath and domineering words, he took out a hairpin from his sleeve, and said in a warm voice, "I don't know if my junior sister is still willing to accept the promise I made many years ago? "

Chu Ruoying looked at the fine ebony hairpin in his hand, the front end was decorated with plum blossom petals carved from jade, which glowed lustrously in the night, and her thoughts suddenly drifted away.

She thought in a trance that it seemed to be such a night, the evening breeze was cool, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the courtyard. She had no time to go back to the house, so she had to spend her birthday on the mountain. What can I say more, at that time the senior brother went down the mountain and hadn't come back yet.

When the night was dim, Chu Ruoying was awakened by Xu Nuo in her sleep, and the two carefully went to the back mountain, sitting on a rock under the moonlight, Xu Nuo's face was full of gentle and doting smiles, from the sleeves He took out women's hair accessories and some pastries that he liked.

When I was young, I didn’t have so many troubles. They were all children who loved to laugh. Chu Ruoying took it with a smile, and finally slept in the back mountain leaning on Xu Nuo’s shoulder. When she woke up in the morning, she opened her eyes. I saw Xu Nuo's gentle smile.

"Brother, will you be there every birthday I have in the future?" Chu Ruoying looked at the person in front of her and asked in a daze.

"Of course, senior brother will remember junior sister's birthday every year. If junior sister wants a gift, senior brother will also give it to junior sister every year." Xu Nuo patted her on the head lightly and said warmly.

Chu Ruoying also smiled happily when she heard the words, and nodded in agreement. After many years, even though there were many changes in it, the promised things were fulfilled one by one.

Now that the times have changed, Chu Ruoying is no longer that innocent child who loves to laugh, but a woman who is good at strategy and understands the mind. Her side is no longer the gentle and elegant senior brother Xu Xu, but an uncertain, violent, The bloodthirsty son of Jin, Mu Ziyuan.

All people are changing and growing. No one will wait in the same place. Everyone has their own responsibilities, responsibilities, and things they can't let go, so if she leaves, he can't stay.

Xu Nuo still maintained the posture of handing Chu Ruoying the hairpin, watching Chu Ruoying's eyes dazed, unfocused, and waiting unhurriedly, he knew what Chu Ruoying was thinking, but that was not important anymore.

Xu Nuo often thinks that if there was no fire three years ago, Gu Lingjuan would not have passed away, and Chu Ruoying would not have changed suddenly after that day. Perhaps the person standing by Chu Ruoying's side today is still him, but it is a pity , After all, there is no if in this world.

Mu Ziyuan looked at the two of them from the side, and there was already a hint of tyranny in his eyes, but he clenched his hands all the time and did not move, just staring straight at Chu Ruoying.

As if she had finally noticed Mu Ziyuan's gaze, Chu Ruoying turned around and smiled at him, then turned her head and took a few steps towards Xu Nuo, reaching out to take the hairpin in his palm, with a faint smile on her lips Concerned, said softly: "I will put away the gift from senior brother properly."

Put it away instead of carrying it with you, Xu Nuo looked up at the jade hairpin in Chu Ruoying's hair, feeling a little bitter in her heart, "As long as junior sister likes it." Xu Nuo finally smiled, after all, Chu Ruoying is willing to accept it, which means Knowing that Chu Ruoying has him as a senior brother in her heart, even if it has nothing to do with love, it's fine if it's family affection.

"Senior brother will always be my senior brother, and Ying'er will always regard senior brother as her own brother in her heart." Chu Ruoying held the hairpin tightly and smiled.

Xu Nuo knew this a long time ago, but still couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes, nodded slightly, and was about to reach out and pat her on the head, but on the way, Mu Ziyuan tightly restrained his wrist.

Xu Nuo shook off Mu Ziyuan's shackles with a light smile, and said indifferently: "It's getting late, I'm going back to the mansion, I wonder if Prince Jin wants to go back to the palace now?"

Mu Ziyuan naturally knew the meaning of the promise, but he would not leave even if he didn't leave. He turned his head and glanced at Chu Ruoying who was beside him. Hugging her into her arms, she said in a low voice, "I'll settle the score with you in a few days."

Before Chu Ruoying came back to her senses, the two people in front of her had already stepped out of the yard one after another and walked away. Chu Ruoying couldn't help but helplessly support her forehead. She always felt that her yard was like an inn, so she lowered her head and took a closer look. Looking at the hairpin in his hand, he felt a little depressed, turned around and went back to the house.

Chu Ruoying took off her coat and lay down on the bed, took off the pear hairpin in her hair, put it together with the plum hairpin, and sighed softly.
